Pleather pollution…kills many species of birds. Especially the ones in your ad

You guys kill animals to keep yourselves in business

So do you and green peace have issues given how pleather is pollution

Hitler made human leather after hearing about US slave owners making it. PETA why are you doing this aside from piles of cash

So you want the rest of the animal to rot? Also most peacock feathers you see on fancy hats and in some consignment shoppes were shed and found on the ground NEAR a peacock during shedding season.

You seriously think a tropical bird that can make itself a black oval with a turquoise stripe and dance like nuts to attract a lover would NEED to wear Ed Gien style crap?

May I remind you that pleather causes pollution

not showing the ad I saw a reaction to it btw

If you spill a puddle of gas on the ground while you are refueling your vehicle:

DO:

Let the store attendant know so we can have it cleaned up, or so that we can call the fire department if it's an especially large spill (2 gallons or more).

Seriously, we're not going to be mad at you. It happens all the time.

Do NOT:

Drive away without telling anyone.

Seriously.

You can start a fire that way, not to mention how toxic gasoline is to the environment if it gets washed away into the water drainage.

Thank you, and drive safely!

While one of the core anti-lawn arguments I've seen is an aesthetic one (isn't native more pretty than turf) I need people to realize that environmental aesthetics are not objective properties formed in a vacuum

Environmental beauty is something that is deeply cultural, and part of the reason for the ubiquity of lawns is a deeply engrained cultural belief (in the US, at least) that a well managed lawn with very well defined flower beds and shrubbery is pretty. That mapping this frankly unnatural aesthetic paradigm onto the land we exist on is pretty, and attempts to preserve or mimic the natural environment are not.

This is not universal, but further, this is not a very effective argument against lawns, especially when your local ecology might mean that working against lawns is less "plant less grass and plant more other things" and more "plant different and more grasses." And that these grasses will do things you might not consider aesthetically pleasing— a lot of native grasses will grow very tall, or sprout very large seed heads, or have odd growing patterns or coloration that makes you think it looks dead (when really its very healthy!)

You need to consider that you might come from a culture that systematically will find trees prettier than grasses, and further, trees that are adapted for milder or cooler climates prettier than tropical ones. Boldly flowering plants prettier than more subtle (or nonflowering) ones. And if your actual goal is to be environmentally friendly, you need to do some level of adapting for this.

sites mutate, sometimes in ways that help them "survive/reproduce" aka gain more users, sometimes in ways that have no effect, and sometimes in ways that make them lose their users, and when they reach a tipping point, the species of site is considered "extinct" or essentially dead

are internet archives like the waybackmachine the digital equivalent of archaeology/finding fossils? they say things put on the internet stay there forever, the same principle applies to everything we produce and use up and deplete on this planet (excluding the trash we shoot into space, but even then, there is always equivalent exchange—you cannot make matter)

technology has grown in our image in every microcosmic way, so we have to be mindful & vigilant
